Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a shuttle from Sydney CBD to Maitland cost?

Fares start from $199 for a Sedan (1–2 passengers). Prices vary by vehicle type. Prices do not move with demand. Tolls and GST are counted in the quote you accept.

How long does the trip from Sydney CBD to Maitland take?

In normal traffic the drive takes approximately 2–2.5 hrs covering around ~160 km. Weekday peak traffic and school zones both stretch it, which the booking allows for.

Do you track my flight?

Yes — every airport booking carries live flight monitoring. A delay or an early landing moves the driver's dispatch time, and there is no charge for it.

How does pickup work?

After booking you'll receive an email confirmation. Your driver then rings before arriving so the meeting point is fixed rather than assumed.

What if I need to cancel?

Anything cancelled more than 24 hours before pickup is free. From the moment the driver arrives, the charge is 50% of the fare. See our cancellation policy for details.

Can I pay by card or cash?

EFTPOS card payments attract 1.8%. Cash and PayID attract nothing. Pay when you travel — the driver takes payment at the end of the trip.
